you're welcome! glad i could help, and i hope all goes well with his endeavours. you're likening omnivores to child molsester's?!? i can think of many things wrong with that comparison. comparing them to cannibals is no more legitimate. cannibalism is attributed to severe mental illness/extreme survival situations. eating meat is something nearly everyone is taught from birth, which also derived from a need for survival. try comin up with some better arguements there, bud. the same goes for alot of you other vegansexuals. "eating toenails"?? "licking off a cow's tit"?? fuck off. omnis are hardly that disgusting at all. do you people REALLY notice odd disgusting smells/behaviours from people like this? then you must fraternize with circus freaks. here in the normal world, the fact that someone was raised on/still enjoys meat however often, does not speak to their character or behaviour as a person. don't forget that the dhali lama even eats chicken and fish due to a personal illness. so stop acting like a bunch of holy enlightened fartsniffers and try looking at the good inside of people, rather than what they choose to put in their bodies.
Um...cows don't magically appear, either...they do actually keep some of the babies alive, FYI. I bet you could find a dairy company that does not sell their calves for slaughter. If not, perhaps you could start one?
i am vegan and i am friends with many meat eaters, but i would definitley prefer to only be intimate with those who are vegetarians or vegans. i don't know if i would change my mind for a certain person, but i do not understand why someone else can't understand the perspective of someone who eats not animal products and would prefer that there sexual partners have similair lifestyles. eating meat is gross if you don't do it, and people who don't eat it often (but not always) smell and taste better and also what's strange about wanting a partner with similair ideas to you.. besides we aren't just compassionate with our diet choices!
How can you expect every single person to believe exactly what you believe, and if they don't, well, they're just cruel and heartless? I can understand choosing not to date or sleep with someone who doesn't share a strong belief like vegetarianism. It's a choice you have to make. But to say, "Well, I'm not going to associate with these murderers," is certainly not going to make your point. It's only going to make you look judgemental and ignorant. And how is that compassionate towards all creatures? Isn't that a main point in vegetarianism and veganism? To show love and compassion to all creatures? Aren't humans included in that, even when they don't share the same beliefs? Just my opinion.
You're entitled to your opinion, of course, but I think it is a belief. I believe that humans should not eat the flesh of any animal when there are plenty of healthy, cruelty-free alternatives. There are plently of people who believe that God created animals for us to eat, and that doing so is the natural order of things and just the way it should be. I think they are wrong, and they are entitled to think I am wrong. It's a difference of opinions, of beliefs. And, in this case, you think I'm wrong. I'm okay with that. LOL.
no I just think people who eat meat smell and taste disgusting and are infected with parasites and hormones that I don't want to be anywhere near. This world isn't peachy keen, especially in America. Maybe it's better up in Alaska, bless you seashell. I wish I could stand the cold. so yeah, that's what I believe.
LOL, I don't know if I would say anything is better in Alaska. I can't stand the cold. It's horrible. Oh, well, what can ya do?
while i don't limit myself to dating/sleeping with only people who are also vegetarian, i find it quite unlikely that i will have very close relationships with non-vegetarians. such as living together or dating seriously. a casual relationship perhaps, but not eating meat affects your lifestyle much more than one would think... and i really have a problem being in very close intimacy with anyone whose lifestyle is drastically different from mine. not to say that i would discriminate against someone simply because they choose to eat meat. and i won't label myself to say i will only be sexual with people who share my dietary choices. but i can see the point of those who do decide to only sleep with people who share their diet... and i don't think it's a bad thing. however, i disagree with the way society jumps to create a label for everyone. i'm tired of peeling all those stickies off! love to all people, and fuck all the labels and shit!
I've been in relationships with vegetarians (I'm a vegan) and although it was nice to be able to cook ONE meal, we were not compatible in other ways. I'm currently dating an omni and we get along fabulously and although he picks on me for being a "leaf eater" he respects me and will eat whatever I make. I won't buy meat or dairy products and won't cook them...even if he buys them. He knows this and respects it. He doesn't have the discipline to become veggie, so who am I to fault that? He is compassionate, loving, and caring in many other respects. Although veganism is a lifestyle, I'm not going to disrespect those who aren't... So like River, I'm an equal opportunity lover. Proud of it.
Obviously I'd prefer it, in the same way I'd prefer someone with similar political views to mine. But if you go about discriminating people actively then you end up alienating them.
well. i don't like to kiss my boyfriend after he's eaten a hamburger. but in his defense he actually hasn't been eating much meat at all, lately, and loves whatever i cook
